400 billion Lego bricks

Apparently over 400 billion Lego bricks have been manufactured since 1949.

Stacked ontop of each other, that’s enough to connect the Earth and the Moon 10 times over!

Interesting statistic of the day
Take a click through to this infographic. Don’t you think it’s amazing that the USA has only 48 mobile phones per 100 people - compared to the UK at 84 or even Icelnad at 90 per 100! And Canada - only 37 phones per 100.
I really would have thought the US and Canada would be close to 100. Well, you learn something new everyday.

OK, so why the zen bones thing?

About 20 years ago I stumbled upon a book called "Zen Flesh, Zen Bones". Being vegetarian - the "flesh" bit didn't grab me, but the short pithy Zen stories inside it, did.

Ever since then my web nick has been zenbones, my Hotmail, my Gmail address, you name it. It's kinda stuck.

Is the blog about Zen? Nope.
